We’re back to our normal pattern of gorgeous weekend weather across Southeast Michigan.

Skies will be mostly sunny and chances of rain are slim to none from Friday all the way through Sunday afternoon. There’s an outside chance of a shower or two Sunday evening, but nothing too serious.

Last weekend, during the International Champions Cup Match, we narrowly avoided the consequences of some low-pressure systems and upper level disturbances in the area.

Other locales in the region experienced rain, storms and even hail as Ann Arbor escaped unscathed.

This weekend, high pressure systems from Canada will keep bad weather at bay and keep temperatures moderate throughout the weekend. The highs are not expected to reach past 85 degrees and humidity should be relatively low throughout the weekend.

There will be plenty of outdoor activities for people to take part in during the beautiful weather, with many of them happening in the municipalities south and west of Ann Arbor.

Summerfest in Saline will feature live music Friday and Saturday evenings and the 42nd annual Dexter Daze will have live music, a social tent, a kids’ tractor pull and a movie screening.

Fun Fact: The Village of Dexter was first known as Mill Creek Settlement before changing its name to Dexter in 1830. The village will vote on whether to become a city in November’s general election.
